The Solar Summit at the White House to promote a product that survives on government subsidies contrasts perfectly with the CRS findings on a product that is “market inspired,” said William Yeatman, a senior fellow with the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

“It is really depressing when you compare government’s posturing on oil and gas, which Americans want, but the Obama administration wants to inhibits, with solar,” Yeatman told TheBlaze. “They are continuing to throw good money money on green energy. They want to prohibit energy that works and subsidize energy that doesn’t work.”
